Adapting to Climate Change in Lake Victoria Basin (Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda)

The overall objective of this regional project is to reduce vulnerability to the negative effects of climate change in the five Lake Victoria Basin countries by building climate resilience. To achieve this objective, there are five project outcomes: 1. Strengthened institutional and technical capacity to integrate climate resilience into transboundary water catchment management. 2. Improved delivery of accurate and timely climate information to regional and national policymakers, technical officers and local communities. 3. Climate change adaptation technologies transferred to communities to reduce their vulnerability to climate change. 4. Regional resilience to climate change promoted through innovative, community-based projects. 5. Improved knowledge management frameworks for the collection and maintenance of regional knowledge in transboundary water catchment management and climate change adaptation practices.
